Those conversations shape my work as Chair of the Education Committee and inform the questions I bring to hearings and budget negotiations. Thank you to the school community for the welcome, and to Aruja Singh of the Student Leadership Network for helping arrange the visit.

My office was proud to sponsor a paper shredding event on Katonah Avenue in Woodlawn, giving neighbors a safe and convenient way to dispose of old bills, tax records, and other sensitive documents.

I spoke with social work students at Lehman College about my path from the classroom to the City Council, my work as Chair of the Committee on Education, and why social workers belong in policy debates.

Social workers see up close where city systems fail families, from housing to schools to mental health care, and that knowledge should shape the laws we write.

Lehman is one of the Bronx’s great public institutions, and many of these students will go on to serve our schools, hospitals and neighborhoods. Thank you to Dr. Dominique Phinn of Lehman’s Department of Social Work for the invitation.

We discussed how government can cut red tape, help owners manage rising costs, and give small businesses a seat at the table when new laws are written. Our local businesses are the backbone of our community, and I am committed to helping them thrive.

As Chair of the Education Committee, a former public school teacher, and lover of the arts, I believe the arts belong at the center of a strong education, and I appreciated the chance to see how this school builds musical talent from an early age.
